The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1887-01-27

Inc claim IS made that on the IL
nancial statement the Globes bid was
the lowest. But the financial state.
ment, the Commissioners proceedings,
and all the notices, were bid on to-
gether. The bid of the ADVANCE on
Commissioners proceedings (which
form the bulk of the ''other printing'0
was 80 far below the other bids, that
there is no questian about our bid be-
ing the lowest on ''other printing. :"
just as it certainly was on the tax
list.
8. The claim that the offer to print
4 job of $40 supplements and distrib.
ute it among the tax payers, makes
amends for the disparity in circula-
tion. or that it complies with the in
tent of the law, is the most absurd
claim Of all. The law says this of the
Commissioners proceedings. that is,
that the means of reaching the tax
payers shall be taken into account
The proceedings keep coming through.
out the year, so that supplements with
the annual statement do not comply
with the law. Again, this hand bill
method of reaching people who are not
subscribers is confession of deficient
circulation and that the paper cannot
legitimately claim the printing. The
law and the common sense of the peo-
pie demand that the county printing
shall 60 to an established paper of gen
eral circulation. The law should be
amended this winter so as to make the
matter perfectly plain, and so that
mere experimental newspapers could
not dabble in 4 matter of such impor-
tance. A number of law suits have
grown out of wrong printing whenever
1t was let to another paper in this
county, and the county is the loser
thereby, while no law suit and not a
cent Of loss has grown out of the AD-
VANCE printing during all the years
we have had it. This Is a grave mat
ter also to consider in letting the print
ing.
4. Mills and the Globe both charge
that the letting of the printing was a
scheme to aid and abet political bosses.
This is an insult alike to Republicans
and Independents, for both voted to
give the printing to the ADVANCE.
5. Mills says this action of the
Board was to throw fire brands at
certain Independent officials.'' AS In
dependent officials voted to give the
printing to the ADVANCE, there must
be ''con-spy-racy" against Mills
lie is the only Independent official that
seems to have been fire branded.
Our readers must excuse us for vast
ing so much space upon so small a
matter. The whole matter rests in I,
nutshell, viz: the ADVANCE got the
printing by making the lowest bid.
All the rest is an attempt to swell the
toad to the size Of an OK.

The Queen,s speech.

LONDON, May 9.-The queen to day
received at Buckingham palace the cor
poration of London, which called by APP
pointment to present a jubilee address on
behalf of the city. In response the queen
said: Il thank you for this renewal of
your assurance of loyalty and attachment
to my throne and person. 1t gives me
great satisfaction on looking back on the
history of my reign, to recall how much
its prosperity has been owing, under God,
to the sound sense and good feeling of my
subjects, the sympathy uniting the throne
and the people. l trust under the Divine
blessing that this cordial sympathy may
remain unbroken."

Her method OF construction is, beyond all
question, the strongest possible. She could
without injury be supported by her two
ends, or the center, and used as a bridge.
Indeed there is not a bridge in the world that
in proportion to its length possesses such
strength us she does. And she will be beyond
the possibility of destruction by fire or water,
since she will be non-sinkable md ~non-burn-
able. Had our government at the com
mencement OF our civil war been in posses
sion OF these plans it could have constructed
within six or seven months fifteen or twenty
vessels for war purposes that would have been
unrivaled in strength, speed and effective
ness. Her system of compartments and the
application OF pneumatic pressure in them
are Of the greatest value. The placing of her
engine, the engine itself. the supporting of
her shaft, the independent grouping Of her
boilers, the arrangements for the coal supply
and the improved condition OF her tre rooms
are all features Of her infinite superiority over
the present mode OF construction. AS q
whole the will be UNNECESSARILY beyond any
seagoing vessel the world has ever SEEM

slopes back 20T feet to her amidship section,
and from that tapers again q like distance to
her stern. Her mode is almost that OF
Herresholf's famous launch, the Stiletto, that
has a record OF 23.7 miles per hour-a speed
never until now attained by any other vessel.
But while the greatest amidship sectional
area OF the Pocahontas is only 1872 times as
great as that of the Stiletto, her engine power
is 2l.S times as great, without forcing 1t be-
yond the requirements of ordinary service.
The Pocahontas is all compartments. She
has LOGO. From stem to stern, below the
water line, are 500 of those compartments,
between the outer skin of the vessel and in
terror walls, riveted to her section plates.
Every one OF these can be got at immedi-
ately; is large enough for a man to enter by a
mar hole and to work in, and is provided with
an iron diaphragm, which enables the applica-
ton of a powerful pneumatic pressure behind
1t to drive out the last drop of water that
may enter through a rent in the outer skin.
1t is claimed that such an accident as sunk
the Oregon would be a mere trihe to the Po-
cahontas. In the center of all this elaborate
defense throbs the gigantic engine that ami
mates the mighty mass.
When it comes to the furnishing of state
rooms and cabins, the Pocahontas promises
the ideal. There will be eighty four state
rooms, each seven feet six inches wide, open
ing directly from the grand saloon, and &C.
cupying the space between it and the outer
walls OF the vessel, so that there are no inner
staterooms. These will be supplied with bath
tubs, nffording hot and cold water. and other
luxuries.
In the Pocahontas every cubic foot OF space
is utilized, and there is not a spot down to the
EXTREMIST depths OF the vessel in which a pint
OF bilSe water can lodge.

structing engineer at the Brooklyn navy

AN AMERICAN PRODUCT.
THE FINE NEW STEAMSHIP eocA-
HONTAS.

Some OF tho Reasons why 1t win Be
One of the FASTEST Boats Ahoat, If Not
the Fnstest-GreHt Expectations Of Her
Projectors.
An American steamship is building which,
I'm addition to being a purely American pro-
duct, designed by an American, built by
American method, without an ounce of
foreign material in her composition or a dol
lar OF foreign capital invested in her, promises
to revolutionize ocean steam navigation.
This ship is TO be called the P~ocohont,s, u
glorious old American Indian name that will
make the hearts of Virginians-who are all
descendants of Pocahontns-glow with pride.
She is to be built In Virginia, tco-at Alex
andria, dear, sleepy old town of the past. Her
future, as forecast by her engineer and inven-
tor, MIR. Robert III. Fryer, and many others
who are interested in her. is most promising.
She Is to be an ocean carrier that cannot be
sunk or burnt: that cnn cross the Atlantic in
less than six days with absolute safety and
uneNampled speed, and afford to passengers
such luxurious comfort as will make sea
voyaging a dream of delight.
The Arrow Steamship company have the
Pocahontas under their wing, and they pro.
mise TO have her afloat with the Stars and
Stripes floating above her beforethe snow flies
next winter. Her patent was issued on tue
18th OF January last, and Is the most compre-
hcnsive ever granted in the United States.
She ought to bo something splendid. Inven-
tor Fryer has devoted tYenty-one years to
her development.
She is not to carry freight. Oh, no. Pas
senSers, treasure, express matters and mail
will be all she will accommodate. Her model
can be seen at the Arrow Steamship COM
pany's office, at lis Broadway, New York.
She is narrow, and the long filming down
of her lines, fore and aft, shows that speed
and not capacity of hold has been the first
consideration. Her length over all is $40
feet; between perpendiculars. 515 feet; beam
40, feet; extreme depth 46. feet; draught
at bow, 20 feet, and at stern, 25 feet 8 inches;

Tn Brief, And to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion IS foe to good nature.
 The human digestive apparatus is one of the most com plicated and wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order.
 Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics.
 But Greens August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and behappy.
 Remember:-No happiness with out health. But Greens August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for bottle. Senventy-five cents.

Useful and Hurtful Medicines

There is certain class of remedies for constipation absolutely useless. These are boluses and portions made in great part of podophyllin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge. and other worth. less ingredients. The damage they dc to the stomachs of those who use them is incalculable. They evacuate the bowels, it is true, but always dc so violently and profusely, and be- side, gripe the bowels. Their effect is to weaken both them and the stomach. Better far to use the agree. able md salutary aperient, Hostel. ter's Stomach Bltters, the laxative effect Of which is never preceded by pain, or accompanied by convulsive, violent action of the bowels. On the contrary, it invigorates those organs the stomach and the entire system As a means of curing and preventing malarial levers, no medicine car compare with 1t, and 1t remedie. nervous debility. rhuematism, kidney and bladder inactivity, and other Tn organic ailments.

As the east bound passenger train on the Atlantic & Pacific was nearing the tank about three miles west of Navajo Springs, at S:I5 last evening, it was stopped by fire on the track and five masked men made their ap- pearance. They fired shot at the
 engineer and fireman and another at the conductor, J. F. Brady, as he made his appearance, then proceeded to rob the express car. They carried
 the local saie, in which valuables are deposited as taken up along the road |,
 out of the car. The through San Francisco safe was not molested. The robbers departed southward. The passengers were not interfered with and the amount taken from the ex. press car is not yet known.
